Daisy May and Charlie Cooper, the brilliant sibling duo behind the critically acclaimed This Country, have returned to our screens with something entirely different yet wonderfully familiar. Nightwatch sees them trading mockumentary for the supernatural in a ghost-hunting series that's as hilarious as it is heartwarming.
From Cotswolds to Ghostly Haunts
The Coopers have swapped their rural mockumentary roots for the eerie world of paranormal investigation, but their signature brand of relatable humour remains perfectly intact. Nightwatch follows the siblings as they investigate reportedly haunted locations across the UK, bringing their unique dynamic to the world of ghost hunting.
A Perfect Blend of Spooky and Silly
What makes Nightwatch stand out in the crowded paranormal TV landscape is its refusal to take itself too seriously. While the locations are genuinely atmospheric and the investigations follow proper protocols, the Cooper siblings' natural chemistry and comedic timing ensure there's never a dull moment.
Daisy May's energetic enthusiasm contrasts beautifully with Charlie's more reserved scepticism, creating a dynamic that feels both authentic and endlessly entertaining. Their banter feels unscripted and genuine, much like in This Country, making viewers feel like they're tagging along with old friends.
More Than Just Ghosts and Gags
Beneath the surface-level scares and laughs, Nightwatch reveals itself to be surprisingly poignant. The series explores the human stories behind the hauntings, treating the people who live with these paranormal experiences with genuine respect and empathy.
This emotional depth, combined with the Coopers' natural warmth, transforms what could have been a simple parody into something much more substantial. The show manages to balance genuine chills with heartfelt moments, creating a viewing experience that's both entertaining and emotionally resonant.
